香港大学-秋非常可爱的卡通。哈哈!一个常常发生在西环这个小角落的事。
Mainland Chinese
I know. Alot of us like to scold the Mainland Chinese for things that went wrong. Such as people who block the escalaters,people who smoke,spit and do lots of disgusting thing sin public...but today I realised something that made me change my perspective of them.
While teaching a group of 'students' how to do IV(Intravenous Infusion) I happened to take a pair of students from the mainland. To be exact, both of them are from FuZhou,Fujian. While all the other students were screaming in pain when the needles entered their skin, these two were very calm. One of them even had to have the needle go through the veins on the back of his hand. This part is the most painful part of the body to do IV on because the bone and vein is very close. Last time someone did that on me, I screamed like hell. However, this chap not only did not scream, he was able to withstand the pain! WOW!
This must have been some really great peseverance! And from what this guy told me, his life was not so...(nice) so this bit of pain was nothing to him. He really won my respect for his strength. Sometimes, we may be more educated than some people. But we still have alot to learn from them.
